[logback-user] Logback 1.3.0/1.4.0 : slf4j-api & StaticLoggerBinder

[Raymond Augé]

Hi Nigel,

You probably want logback 1.3 (1.4 is for Jakarta EE as opposed to 1.3
being for Java EE).

Secondly, logback now uses ServiceLoader to find "providers" so make sure
any adjustments are made to your classloading such that that can work.

Cheers
